IRELAND THE GYPSY
Hello!
My name is Ireland (she/her).
She is a barbering yogi who holds space for individuals in her chair and behind the chair. Showing barbers worldwide how to take care of themselves in a mindful way.
After growing up in the Bay Area of California, she felt pulled to tune into her curious & adventurous nature, move to New Orleans, and learn what life had to teach her. Growing up, she always had long luscious curly hair and took time to take care of it with her 3 sisters'. That same nurturing spirit led her to cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell. She began to explore new ways of expression through her hair, which led her into the barbering world.
As she continued in school she found many aches and pains of the day-to-day behind-the-chair lifestyle, soon finding her way into yoga. As she continued on this path, living away from family during COVID, navigating life and travels; her yoga practice began to become essential to her daily life for her further growth and empowerment. Even through the pain of letting go of loved ones and living on her own while starting her career. With the power of yoga she has been able to take a mindful approach to life, as she explores what avenues to take; checking in with her heart at every checkpoint.
She is now a full-time multifaceted barber/stylist in the local New Orleans area. She welcomes anyone into her chair, no matter the texture or pattern of their hair. Offering a plethora of services including short haircuts, curly cuts, designs, beard maintenance, braids, locs, color, and facials. Her chair will always be a safe place to be. Learning from her observations of the community She quickly realized the need for relaxation and rejuvenation in everyone, not only for those in her chair but also for those behind the chair.
Beginning to recognize this need for mindful movement, breath awareness, and relaxation for those of us working behind the chair she dove deeper into her yoga practice. Curious to learn more she dedicated her time to becoming a 500 HR Yoga Teacher through Happy Jack Yoga University. This allowed her to truly learn firsthand how complex, yet simple yoga can be. It is her mission to bring this practice to barbers like herself and show them through simple movements and breathing techniques that they can use simple tools to ease the stresses or pains of their barbering lifestyle.
She shares her approach to life working behind the chair and surrendering to the flow of life through Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to show individuals how you can do it too. With her unique way of incorporating heart-healing into everyday life, she can successfully inspire, connect, and share her gifts around the world.
Thank you for your curiosity.
Peace and Blessings
